MGCR1000BS5.20

An MGCR1000 Series Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter Module, MGCR1000BS5.20 can be installed in an Alloy MCR12 Series Managed Media Converter Chassis, and has a 1000Base-LX WDM 1310nm RX singlemode/singlecore SC port. Fibre cable range up to 20Km.

The MGCR1000BS5.20 Media Converter Module is designed for use in any of Alloy's MCR12 Series Managed Media Converter Chassis systems. An MGCR1000BS5.20 Converter Module can be installed in any of the 12 front panel slots in and MCR12 Chassis. This Converter Module has a Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-T RJ-45 port and a singlecore SC terminated WDM 1000Base-LX connector, which supports a range of up to 20 kilometres over one core of singlemode fibre cable. This WDM Media Converter multiplexes both send (Tx, on 1550nm wavelength) and receive (Rx, on 1310nm wavelength) datastreams over a single fibre core, thus halving the number of 'lit' fibre cores compared to standard singlemode Converters. This is particularly useful where the capacity of previously laid fibre cable has already been fully utilised. A MGCR1000BS5.20 Converter Module must be used with an Alloy MGCR1000BS3.20 Converter Module at the other end of the link, or a similar WDM device cable of receiving a 1550nm wavelength datastream.

The MGCR1000BS5.20 is a member of the MGCR1000 Series of Media Converter Modules. Any combination of these cards and models from the MFCR100 Series of Fast Ethernet Media Converter Modules can be intalled in a MCR12 Series Managed Media Converter Chassis system. MGCR1000 Series Gigabit Ethernet Converter Modules provide comprehensive solutions for UTP copper to multimode fibre, UTP copper to singlemode fibre and UTP copper to WDM singlemode/singlecore fibre media conversion. Individual models offer LC or SC fibre connectors, and maximum fibre cable ranges between 550 metres an up to 60 kilometres are supported.

Installed in an MCR12 Series Media Converter Chassis, indivudual MGCR1000 Modules can be monitored and configured via the chassis web-based GUI management interface. In addition, an SNMP agent supports the configuration of uo to 23 Trap events, with exception alarms sent to specified email address or via the corporate SNMP Trap alarm system. MGCR1000 Series Converter Modules provide a flexible and scalable solution for high density and high reliability for most types of Gigabit Ethernet media conversion.
